Positioning Techniques and Equipment for U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Hydrographic Surveys.

Abstract

This report describes techniques and equipment that can be used by U.S. Army Corps of Engineers personnel in the 38 Districts to perform hydrographic surveys. These techniques should improve each District's operating efficiency by reducing the time lag between data collection and final report or completed chart. The report uses simple explanations and nonmathematical descriptions of the subjects covered and should be readable by all levels of survey branch personnel. Names and addresses of manufacturers' representatives are included in Appendix A to aid the reader in obtaining up-to-date technical information. A list of key Corps personnel engaged in hydrographic surveying is included in Appendix D to facilitate information interchange. (Author)
